Merlin Beach Resort

The Merlin Beach Resort is a 4 star holiday resort which is one of the largest resorts on the island with its four hundred and fourteen large guest rooms and luxurious suites. The Merlin Beach Resort has many wonderful facilities, food and beverage venues and access to a private beach so the resort has proven to be very popular with honeymooners and families alike. If you are interested in booking a resort which is located nearby to Patong but still offers a very quiet, relaxing and luxurious environment and atmosphere then I would definitely recommend the Merlin Beach Resort to you. If you are interested in getting married on Phuket then why not organize an unforgettable wedding at the Phuket Merlin Beach Resort?

The Merlin Beach Resort is located just south of Patong beach in an area which is called the Tri Trang beach area. To access this area you will need to take the beach road all the way south and then drive over a large hill to the other side. There are only a few resorts and hotels located in this area and it is ideal for those of you that would like to be close to Patong and all of its attractions but are looking for accommodation where you will not be annoyed by pesky vendors and aggressive Tuk Tuk drivers. Some other nice beaches which are located nearby to the Merlin Beach resort include Paradise beach for example.

For more information about Paradise beach or Patong beach please do have a look at the Patong Beach section and Paradise beach section which we have included in our handy online Phuket travel guide.
